Chaos in the general relativistic three-body problem
ORAL
Abstract
The three-body problem in classical gravity is known to have chaotic solutions. We are investigating chaos in the three-body problem in general relativity using post Newtonian equations. We model a binary system that interacts with an incoming star. We present results of these interactions that display features of chaos, such as sensitivity to initial conditions and scale invariance.
